flowers in autumn

Jacket: Zara. Leggings: American Apparel. Boots: Dr Marten. Purple scarf: Love Quotes. Black mini shawl: Thrift. Hat & wool polo neck dress: H&M. Shades: Ray Ban
I took Oliver for a walk today and just like the words to that song; All the leaves are brown, except the skies weren’t grey. Blue and sunny would be more accurate.
I wore these American Apparel leggings that I loved from the first time that I saw them at the shop but kept umm-ing and ahh-ing for weeks thereafter – until a couple of days ago. I paired them with the Docs because I LOVE clashing florals together.
How’s everyone’s weekend going so far? This is Day 3 of the long weekend in the US and it feels bloody brilliant!

    This outfit is absolutley hideous! If I saw you on the streets I would think you were homeless & just scrapped items from whomever threw them your way..literally. I typically love love your outfits but this is just wrong in all ways.

    I envied your Martens before, but now… There’s a lot more to envy 😀 Of course it’s a bit risky to put them together, they look awesome on each own, but your try is good enough 🙂 I would even paired one more patterned thing on the upper part… 🙂 Anyway, it’s that bit “not right”, which makes the fashion line go round in spiral..

    I read your comment on another blog about the infamous ‘atacoma’ boot by Acne. I’m a size 41 aswell (being tall has its advantages but also its pitfalls too!) I was thinking about purchasing them (probably from a reliable trading site as if i’m correct they’ve sold out of my size everywhere) So my Qn is, WERE THEY NOT EVER PRODUCED IN A SIZE 41 IF YOU GOT THE 40?????

    I did think about the JC knock-offs. Only problem is they look like knockoffs and I don’t want that. It’s a shame I’m not in love with Burburry’s platform bikers b/c JC’s version are spot on

    Hope to get a response from you

    Nataliexx – those ACNE boots were only made up to size 40. I contacted ACNE to confirm so I had to have mine stretched a couple of times for them to fit me and that’s by a trustworthy cobbler that really knows what they are doing.

    Jacqueline – yes, Sir Ollie is making another appearance ; )

    Eva Ana – we use a Nikon D90.

    Francheska – I bet YOU could too judging from the amazing shots that you post. Talk about inspiration from those? Your definitely good with styling.

    Angie Star – thank you. The older header was getting. Well old. LOL!! This definitely is more me : )

    Ahh yes; the ever essential Anonymous poster. The one thing all fashion bloggers have to contend with. I posted your comment because I actually LOVE throwing anything together and walking out. Even the homeless inspire me too. (Shocked yet?). Glad to see you decided to post but, of course, without revealing to all who you are. Your comment made me laugh : ))
